Duchess Mary

The boring daily life of the high society of Pyatigorsk in the XIX century is revived by the arrival of Pechorin from St. Petersburg. Pechorin’s love affair with Mary becomes the subject of controversy.

Bela

Pechorin is deprived of the officer’s rank and gets transferred to one of the mountain villages of the Caucasus. He gets bored of the everyday life and starts looking for fun. He promises Azamat to help him steal Kazbich’s horse if the former allows Pechorin to marry his sister Bela. Soon Pechorin gets annoyed by Bela’s presence. Kazbich, insulted by the theft of his horse kills Bela. Coldblooded Pechorin is hardly moved by this news.
